Dharma Cultivation

修法

修法，并非只是为今生，也不只是为将来的一百年`一千年而修的，同时也并不只是为了自己而修。修法是生生世世的，是从今生此刻开始，直至获得证悟菩提为止，是为了普天下所有众生的福泽和快乐，这是一个非常久远且伟大的愿望。

因此我觉得，真正有智慧的是修持佛法的人，因为修法者生生世世承办着所有众生的事.

Dharma cultivation

Dharma cultivation, is not only done for this lifetime, nor is it for the next hundred or thousand years. It is also not done for oneself. Dharma cultivation is perpetual, starting from this lifetime, this moment, until enlightenment; it is also done for the welfare, joy, happiness of all sentient beings, which is a very lengthy and noble aspiration indeed.

Hence, i feel that a person who has Bodhi wisdom is a person who cultivate the heart (mind) in accordance to Dharma, because the Dharma practitioner will perpetually for aeons, be shouldering the noble task of aiding sentient beings.

修法的成果

傲慢减轻，虔敬心增加，禅定也更加清明，善业一天比一天增加，对世间的出离心也日益增长。这些才是修法的成果。

相反地，如果你心中没生起这些成果，就算暂时看上去， 好像觉得自己具足戒律，观想也很厉害，但这对解脱和证悟究竟佛果，并没有任何的利益。

The fruits of labour from Dharma cultivation

Pride and arrogance reduce, sincerity and respectfulness to others increase, one's meditative stillness of the mind becomes more lucid and noticable; good deeds to be done grow day by day, and the heart of renounciation to this worldly phenomenon grows more resolute daily. These are the fruits of one's labour from practising the Dharma.

On the contrary, if your heart never surface these fruits (results), though you may appear temporary to others or yourself believing that you are armed fully with all the precepts and rules, or master well in the area of visualization practice, there is not much benefit reaped.
